yeah its those type of wins, not great but good. Ruben Castillo had given tough fights to Salvador Sanchez and Alexis Arguello. Sammy Fuentes and John Duplessis were top 10 in the 140 lb division. Similar wins to those you listed for Floyd.
Alright, i'll check some of those fights out. Thanks for the info.
Thanks.
Elaborate more please, who were these fighters at the time he fought them. Where they okay, good, or great? Is this list like mentioning Victoriano Sosa, Demarcus Corley, Sharmba Mitchell, Angel Manfredy, Phillip N'dou, Carlos Gerena, etc for Floyd? Or are those guys on another level, like HOF'ers?

Ruben castillo was a very good win for that young chavez ....is funny ruben castillo not to long ago said he beat sanchez bit they robbed him and said chavez was a diffrent fighter he broke 2 ribs with a body shot funny the way he says it...
Can any one else add to JCC Sr's resume? I named what I could, i'm sure he has more.

Jose luis ramirez, ruben castillo, angel hernandez, frankie michell,sammy fuentes, david kamau, tony lopez....there a couple more that were good wins
I knew I was missing a notable win.
Oh yeah, and how many times were they The Ring champion?
I know Floyd has been the champion in 3 weight classes, 130, 135, and 147.
What about Julio Cesar Chavez Sr? I know he has one, was he the champion in any other weight class?
Thread starter should have listed Floyd's notable wins and Cesar's notable wins. And the people saying JCC is greater should name the fighters that JCC beat who make him great. The posters who are more in to history should help out here.
I'll try my best naming his "notable wins". Hector Camacho, Meldrick Taylor, Greg Haugen, Roger Mayweather, Frankie Randall, Rocky Lockridge, Juan Laporte, Edwin Rosario, Mario Martinez.
Floyd's "notable wins" are: Genaro Hernandez, Diego Corrales, Jesus Chavez, Jose Luis Castillo, Arturo Gatti, Zab Judah, Carlos Baldomir, Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton, Juan Manuel Marquez, Shane Mosley, Victor Ortiz. .
Chavez: Champion in 3 weight classes.
Mayweather: Champion in 5 weight classes.
Other good wins for Floyd that I didn't want to mention because it would seem unfair to mention so much for him, are Gerena, C. Hernandez, Augustus, and Corley.

Floyd's career is not done yet
Chavez Sr did have a period of invincibility cause his dominance and he fought a lot of #1 contenders.
Chavez has some bad loses but mostly towards the end of his career
Eh... I'll reserve judgement until Floyd retires as that would be the only fair thing to do.
I also think that Floyd beats Chavez pretty convincingly at any weight. Mayweather would bust Chavez up with that straight right.
If castillo beat mayweather jr the first fight and fought him the way he did in the second fight chavez sr was a way better all around fighter than castillo was so i would pick chavez if if they fought in there prime....
